The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Click the ADVANCED tab.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
5. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.
The Connection Status pop-up window opens.
6.
Check the information in the Connection Status pop-up window to see if your PPPoE
connection is up and working.
If the router is not connected, click the Connect button.
The router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.
7.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, the router might be set up with an
incorrect service name, user name, or password, or your ISP might be experiencing
a provisioning problem.
Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE until data
is transmitted to the network.
Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web
pages from the Internet, check the following:
•
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a
host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric
IP addresses.
Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use.
If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, restart your computer.
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as
explained in the documentation for your computer.
•
The router might not be configured as the default gateway on your computer.
Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.routerlogin.net) is
listed by your computer as the default gateway address.
•
You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided
a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to
run that software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer
